[Elecraft] Waterproof SO-239 covers

[Dave Cole]

By the way...  These caps also fit the mic connector on the front of the 
K3...

I use them extensively on all outdoor SO-239s, and one on the mic cover 
for the K3. :)

If you sign up for the mail list at American Radio Supply, they will 
send you a coupon for 10 bucks off a 25 buck order fairly routinely...

They are good folks, care about customer support, and in general provide 
a very good product for a good price.

I also use their PL-259s, and adapters for 8x, and they take solder, and 
hold up well...

73, and thanks,
Dave (NK7Z)
